The most popular film made on the folktale is the 1957 Telugu film Mayabazar. Das adapted it into his 1936 Telugu film Mayabazar (also known as Sasirekha Parinayam). Padmanaban made a Tamil film based on the story in 1935. Nanubhai Vakil directed the first talkie version of the tale in 1932 in Hindi. Narasimham of The Hindu, Baburao Painter adapted the folktale thrice as a silent film in 1919, 19 with V. The story was adapted to cinema multiple times. By early 1950s, Surabhi theatre troupes made the folktale popular across Telugu-speaking regions. The story is popular in performances, including Tholu bommalata (shadow puppets), Yakshagana, and Kuchipudi. It echoes the marriage of Arjuna to Subhadra in the Mahabharata. The plot concerns the marriage of Sasirekha, called Vatsala in some versions, the daughter of Balarama, to Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna. While it uses characters who appear in the Mahabharata, the story is not present in the epic.

Sasirekha Parinayam is an Indian folktale based on oral traditions popular in Telugu States. For the 2009 Telugu film, see Sasirekha Parinayam (film).
